[PROCON]

I think the more interesting piece of news lately was when Colt a few years ago said they were going to stop manufacturing/selling their AR-15's to the civilian market and concentrate on the military/LEO customers.

Then a few months back they saw the huge demand for those platforms and started making them for the civilian market again; the potential profits were too huge to pass up.

“platforms”

So many things are platforms these days.
